In this video:
Sleep has a simple definition that includes closed eyelids and a particular brainwave pattern in the neocortex; as a result, it’s relatively easy for researchers to determine when a person, another mammal or a bird is asleep.

When I was a kid I thought they just slept on the seabed, and that's why it's called that.
That's a good observation mate :)
What I actually found more interesting than fish sleeping is how birds do it. I heard on scishow tangents (a podcast) that some birds don't land for 10 months or even more as the research only lasted 10 months. And they told how some birds actually go limp in big parts of there bodies including the face and neck but their wings were still stiff and they were able to glide. So they would fly really high and then just glide for a long time while actually sleeping. Some birds go fully to sleep while others only have one of the brain sides go to sleep and then circling in a specific manner as they only have one working eye and fly in a group. Just thought it would be a fascinating topic for you to explore.
Indeed
Dolphins are even more peculiar
Wow some fish sleep 800 minutes! That is a little more than 13 hours. Wish I could get that much sleep
What we really wanna know is if fishes Get thirsty
Well they're gettin aroused, I think they're thirsty.
lol
@@xanbell7723 sounds fishy
I've got a great pyrenees (livestock guardian breed for those unfamiliar) and he can be out cold and snoring, but will watch and follow you with one eye open. It's freaky. But it makes him a very effective guard dog.
Love this channel! Always learning things I never even knew I wanted to! Thanks.
I've observed my own fish, yo-yo loaches, glowlight tetra and cardinal tetra, all tend to sleep between 10-5. The tetra tend to drop to the bottom while the loach will lay inside their cave. If I get home late and turn on the light to feed them they will take a while to wake up. Both the cardinals and glowlights fade colour while they sleep.
My beta fish naps on his tank's plant's leaves -- its usually only a few minutes at a time then he's back up checking stuff out.
Dude, what's in that coffee mug? Dijon mustard?
I though tit was pea soup but there is no peas floating in it
Fish food.
Milk tea?
Ya'll never heard of Dijon Coffee?
@@GreenAppelPie There's only one type of coffee...
Literally one of the best channels on youtube, so informative
Seeing as that’s subjective it can’t possibly be ‘literally’ the best channel.
Hell yeah they do. But I didn't know that until I had a tank of them and came home from work late at night to find them all colorless--I thought they had nearly died because their air pump was plugged into an outlet that would sometimes go out if you shut the front door too hard. So I thought that had happened when I first left for work and they'd been without air that whole time. Since then, I learned that not only were they just asleep, but that they can go for days without added O2 in their water (I raise and sell fish online, and ship them in sealed bags all over the country, had one bag get lost in the mail for FIFTEEN days in record-high July temperatures, and some of the fish came back STILL ALIVE).
dude replace the receptacle it takes a minute. just shut the power off to that outlet and screw a new one in...
@@voidremoved Preaching to the choir, Honey. It was my then-husband's house and it was chock full of dysfunctional things that could have been fixed very easily, including his treatment of me. So I bounced. Since then I have done my own work on electrical, plumbing and structural repairs and improvements, even though I could get the landlord to do it. And my female boss and I have practically rebuilt my whole car and her whole bathroom. I've even changed and plugged tires for DUDES who didn't know how. Not saying "girl power" or anything, but it's kinda sad how many people don't know how to do basic stuff, male or female, and it's especially puzzling considering how at-your-fingertips the how-to's are nowadays. Hell, I'm surprised CZcams hasn't eliminated whole segments of the service and repair industry! And stuff is FUN to do yourself!
Audrey Muzingo haha aw that must have been stressful. It was such an emotional roller coaster for me the first few months after I got started fish keeping. I enjoy checking in on them at night though. The tetras are all dark and tucked in, the honey gourami usually finds a place in the plants, and the nocturnal fish start to come out
I can say yes before even watching the video since I used to own Betta fish and they clearly slept. They loved sleeping in their fake little plants.
Fishes are lucky for not snoring...otherwise, they'll be eaten by other predators while sleeping.
That made me question, whether our ancestors were being eaten by predators because of snoring 🤔
@@Hihihihihihi147 obviously not enough
One of my betta fish is sleeping on a leaf in her tank while I watch this.
Mine used to do that. It scared me the first time I saw it. I thought he was dead. Then I did some research and found out that's common for bettas because they breathe air at the waters surface. In fact it's so common that you can buy "Betta Beds" that look like plastic floating lily pads.
This is what I like about this channel, answering the worlds most important questions.
I am here 2:12 in the video I don’t know if you’re going to mention it but mackerel do sleep in some way. the thing with mackerel is that it always need to be in activities to get air because it don’t have a air/swim bladder to keep itself up so instead it does so bye swimming, so it can’t sleep normally however it turn off half of it’s brain leaving just the ability to swim to rest
i've had many fish over the years, from goldfish to guppies to piranhas. i did have a large tinfoil barb jump out of the tank over night and take a permanent "carpet nap". maybe it didn't like the food :-P
my fish would get horny or something and swim against the current from the HOB filter. then they might fly right up, but they cant fit out so they hit the ceiling and fall back in
@@voidremoved the light hood had a flip lid, it managed to push it, that was like a 6 inch tinfoil, i raised it since it was 1 inch, not like i wasn't feeding it, maybe it wanted to watch TV.
I have a 12 year old clownfish. Every time all the lights in the room would go out he'd freak out and splash around. One night as I was falling asleep I heard a splash that sounded... different. Decided to get up and found he'd jumped out of the tank through the small gap by the filter outlet!
I scooped him up and dropped him back in the tank and he's managed to outlive everything I've had in that tank!
So what you're saying is, while I can sleep with the fishes, I can only do that if it's not a cave fish?
0:49 you're literally describing any middle aged man ever.
This is something I never knew I wanted to know. Learn something new every day. 👏
Huh I didn’t know blind cave tetra could be hybridized! It’s so cute when my neon tetra’s sleep at night. They turn off their neon and tuck themselves into little nooks in the decor. My banjo catfish sleep all day under the sand though hehe
Lmao 3:41 is that you uncle Juan
It's relativly easy to tell when they're sleeping. My lampeyes sleep at the top, as do my african clawed frogs, clown loaches lay on top of each other within a cave, my shark sometimes sleeps vertically and the others are usually midway.
3:33 "Órale ya dejen dormir a los pinches piecesitos no mamen we"
I didnt expected that, but as a Mexican i loved it. So funny jajaja
Two if my fish sleep side by side up against the airline tubing, and my other two just kind of float around at the bottom with their tail up.
Strange how they expect school age children to get good amounts of sleep while also expected to have 30":1' of homework per class. And a lot of kids don't get to a quiet area to work for quite some time either.
DxBlack I was just discussing that with my hubs
It’s messed up tbh
The fish in the beginning as you listed the characteristics of a sleeping fish had me laughing so hard
Several of my guppies have distinct rest/sleep patterns from each other, some sleep up top, a few on the bottom with slow fin movement just to keep in place.
The gold fish all seem to be the same, moving slowly in a forward direction
I LOVE your purple glass frames!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd like to offer a bonus fact of my own. When a person becomes sleep deprived for a long time - especially when they're just intentionally staying awake for a long period of time, to break a record or as part of an experiment - when they finally do sleep, they will generally sleep for about 14 hours and then be fine. Usually when you hear about someone sleeping longer than that there's some sort of illness involved (someone was once kept awake for a week due to fever, then slept for 3 days while recovering).
I think the sleep stats at the end would have benefitted from being listed more slowly, or having a number listed along with the photo. I went over it twice, then finally played it at .75x speed. It’s very interesting to me, and while it follows that as children get closer to maturity they need less rest, it was a lot of information flung out there.
Loved the video as always. The captions on the fish were hilarious and spooky at the same time. “Or am I?” Shudder. 😖
My puffer definitely sleeps. Each night he goes down to the bottom of his tank and rest his belly and doesn’t move… sometimes he won’t even come greet me like he always does if i go see him in the middle of the night lol
Did you just say.....Ta-labia???
and "re-spirit-ory"... I think he intentionally mis-pronounces words just to encourage "engagement rates", comments like yours and mine increases visibility in the youtube algorithm.
or maybe he is just clueless and reading off daven's script, and has no idea what he's even saying.
Tilapia
@@molkikun1 Yes I know, but that was not the word that came out of his mouth lol
@@GamingCulture1 It could be. I'm not a Native Speaker and it sound ok to me, but again, I'm not used to that word.
@@treblegrey That's not it - it's just his accent is _impossibly_ posh. Plus they (obvs) are not from N.A. & didn't Google search "how to pronounce tilapia" prior to filming.
Some parrotfish cocoon themselves in mucus for their nightly sleep. I've also observed some fish sleeping out in sandy areas vigorously move their fins to keep their balance in tidal surge, while being completely unresponsive to me. Occasionally the disturbed water from my passing has knocked fishes out of their perches on reefs or rocks and the completely stiff fish simply falling to the bottom. Bamboo sharks find a nice spot deep in under an overhang to sleep during the day.
my giant pet goldish sits on the gravel, holds his pectoral fins close, and lays his dorsal fin down lol
I have a question. When I face a desk fan from the front, I feel the air movement and hear the wind. But if I go to the back of the fan, I neither feel wind nor hear it. Whyizzzat?
The fan suck the air behind it and blow it at the front, if you hold a sheet of paper behind the fan it will suck it and the paper will get stuck.
I heard everything fine. Um... Simon? That's very nice looking cup of coffee. I think I'll make some now.
My betta sleeps a lot in all kinds of crazy positions
Clint Bandura bettas are the best lol
Excellent video! I think it's interesting that dolphins, porpoises, and whales will sleep with only half their brain at one time in order to keep alert.
I have a saltwater reef tank and my clownfish sleep on their side. Scared me when I first noticed it, I thought they died. But after a bunch of Google searches I found out that is normal for them. Mine float up to the top, flop to one side, and then take a nap.
This is something I've often wondered.
Can't help but think of Darla from Finding Nemo
I'M A PIRANA THEY ARE FROM THE AMAZON
ITS DORI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The background music gave me a headache. What even was that, it was almost to quite to hear. But noticeable enough to crack My head.
scott simo weird
I don't even need to watch the video because I have and aquarium and can see them sleeping, but I will cause I love this channel
How did the term stone become a measurement for weight in the UK?

no... try the do birds sleep standing up video next week
avlisk hahahahah
I tip my haddock to you sir
I adore a good fish pun
That was sole-ly brilliant!
Answers to lifes important questions.
I had a brown bullhead as a pet. They rest on the bottom on their bellies, staring and pumping water as normal. kinda hard to tell if they are actually asleep of course
"Haven't slept in 20 years, help" lol
DiabolicDoug lol fuck that I’m tired now and it’s still not late lol
My 12 year old clownfish sleeps in the corner of his tank, facing straight up.
First few times I came in to see it I was convinced he died. But a few minutes after turning on the light, he'd slowly wake up and start swimming around. 🐠
What would happen to a country that breaks the Geneva Convention. For instance, if the US started using dirty bombs or bio weapons, what would be the repercussions?
@mxt mxt Exactly my point. Is it just pointless or has anyone ever done something about it, save for punishing a few people in charge that broke the rules.
Zeb-rafish . SIMON ROCKS !!
3:38 LOL
The mountain river behind my house has such a swift current that the trout must constantly be swimming and adjusting to local currents. Can they ever really sleep? or even rest their muscles at all?
That fish going Non-Sleep mode to bathe eggs in Oxygen statement might be a little short. The temperature consistency of maneuvering H2O over might also be to control genetic steps of starting or stopping. Diffusion of neutralizing fluids might be occurring too just from the various viscosity changes that may be being controlled in certain stair-step techniques of development from generations of clutches being built to be the best they can be for the species. I'm just a humble H-VAC guy...thanx.
0:49 Looks like he went to bed and bumped his head!
Bonus fact: Parrotfish sleep in a mucus sack.
denimalos lol sounds like something insulting I’d say about my brother
I like your upside-down haircut.
My algae eater freaks me out because he has eyelids! We have starring competitions with each other and he DEFINITELY blinks. Thought I was imagining it but several others have seen him do it too. He spends the night in a hollow log though so don't know if he naps.
I was just wondering about this because my roommate gots a fishtank with a whole bunch in there,i only seen one resting,and the others not once
Can a limb ever be trained to be equal or to or switch to become the dominant one. How is this affected by amputation?
What if you sleep 12 hours... is that just depression?
"orale ya dejen dormir a los pinches pececitos no mamen we" is translated "pray and let the little fish go to sleep" 3:40
My 3 goldfish sleep at a bottom corner of the tank. They actually stay in group when this happens and one keeps watch for danger.
Fish sleeps half the brain
Yes they do. My betta sleeps inside her cave and it’s *objectively* adorable.
Very enlightening. 😐😐😐
I supposed that sleep has a genetic basis in humans too since my brother and I both have sleep disorders, although they manifest rather differently.
İt was enough at "Yes, they do infact sleep." Everything afterward was unnecessary info. Thanks, though. İ can finally catch up on my sleep now.
A lot of fish species need to keep moving to ensure a fresh water flow through their gills. If they can't move, they suffocate.
When I was about 11 till I was 19 I could only sleep 4 hours and some nights I wouldn't sleep at all for 1-2 days.
I feel for you. Sleep deprivation is the worst. Going through something myself right now. I really hope that you are part of that 1 percent that doesn't need that much sleep but the odds are you are probably not
@@bobthegoat7090 at the time I felt fine so long as i didn't go more then 2 days no sleep. 3 days and i started hallucinating. Anyway at the age of 19 I started smoking marijuana and found that I could sleep the whole night through.
So, in other words, you were an insomniac.
@@parallel4 no I slept most days just 3-4 hours. That's not insomnia
@@Raylen_Fa-ield That is insomnia. If you can't get enough sleep, that's insomnia. Insomnia doesn't mean the complete inability to sleep; it means inability to sleep to some extent. There's varying severities of insomnia.
I had a good question for you yesterday... But I've forgotten what it was now :(
Yeah, my fishes sleep all the time when they have nothing to do or nothing interesting is in the tank.
happy easter to you and your crew. why are lillies connected to easter?
at what point in chrsitian history did this idea start and hoe quick was it excepted.
wow and my therapist calls me obsessive. these fish researchers are insane... I thought the video would be like, yes fish sleep. instead, fish sleep and we chase them all around mexico and stay up for a week tapping dat glass and making fish love. all to conclude that fish sleep. and why is there no peas in your mug of pea soup
I've been keeping fish for years. Yes, they definitely sleep.
I HAVE A QUESTION: WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP ATTACKING MY MAN SIMON ON TWITTER?!?!
Because Simon is an asshole
What did I miss?
Yes- my fish is sleeping upside down today. Oh wait...
Please help me is the intro sound from the channel that went under G4? I know I used to hear it on some TV channel but can't remember grrrr
Grimm Hades is it?? I watched a lot of G4 back in the day, don’t remember that. I could be wrong, though. It has been like a decade.
@@Knight_Astolfo I seriously can't remember where it's from but it's been bothering me for a long time trying to figure it out.😂

Have you even heard of No Such Thing As A Fish?
Life keeps tapping hence why im watching this video at 3:30am
Just when you thought it was safe to take a nap in the water...
The ones in my fish tank seem to sleep on their backs, floating at the top of the tank.
Can you talk about the deal of the century please
My plecos will fall asleep while on the glass and fall off. They hit the substrate and wake up. Much like falling off the bed 😂
They don’t technically sleep like we do but yes they do go into a resting state
I really just want a yes or no answer lol
No..... short video, very short.
Maybe !!!
*"NUFF SAID"*
So is that sushi just sitting there on a bed of rice just sleeping or is there something else I should know??
Does it rain more at night than during the day?
In this channel to speak of sleeping fish. When to talk of the awake ones you are in VisualPolitik EN
Next video- How did the term Bucks come to mean dollars?
But do they dream?
When I kept fish, my gouramis would always park themselves on the gravel near the front glass; kissing gouramis would extend their pelvic and anal fins like a tripod, with the rest of their fins relaxed. In all cases, they would be completely insensate until the lights were on for a bit, unless I actually nudged them.
My betta fish sleeps between the leaves of the java fern in his tank.
@1:04 "or being hard to arouse".... I think you meant rouse lol
No, arouse would be correct in this case.
Being hard to arouse is one of four traits a sleeping fish has. They could also be hard to arouse when awake. Such as being hard to arouse and only having 2 of the the other 3 traits needed to be considered asleep.
@@lordgarion514 i thought arouse meant to get someone hard lol
@@LeadsTheFallen
You got me curious, so I went digging. As it turns out, the sex part was added to Merriam-Webster (no clue when). But the older Cambridge dictionary hasn't, and Cambridge has an excellent explanation of the two words.
dictionary.cambridge.org/us/grammar/british-grammar/arouse-or-rouse
@@LeadsTheFallen
Oh, but even if it hadn't been added to Merriam-Webster, that would still fall under arouse because of the "get a response" part of the definition.
Cause if THAT ain't a response,.I don't know what is. 😀
@@lordgarion514 xD
Don't snakes also not have eyelids? Do they sleep in a similar ways to these fish?
Whistley boi!
